I'm excited to announce that I'll be making three or four speaking appearances at the end of May in my home state of Virginia. I'll be discussing The Arsenal Yankee, my experiences growing up in the States, getting the chance to play in England, as well as scouting and what the best clubs in the world look for.

I'll follow up with more details, but tentatively the schedule stands as follows:

• May 22 - Roanoke, VA
• May 23 - Alexandria, VA: Lee Center, 7-9pm with Jason Davis from SiriusXM FC
  
• May 25 - Roanoke, VA
• May 26 - Richmond, VA: Own Touch, 7pm with Bob Jenkins and Greg Simmonds

I'll update the venues/times here as well on my Facebook/Twitter. Formats for each event will likely be moderated discussion followed by Q&A lead by the audience. Books can also be purchased and signed the night of the events! Thank you all again for your support!

Last Monday, the awesome people at Howard Kennedy and the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association hoste  Tom Watt, me, and a room full of Gunners as we launched The Arsenal Yankee here in London.

I've been so lucky to have Tom involved and helping me out with the book over the past several years. One of my bosses had originally put us in touch after I'd let the Club know I was writing a book, and he helped educate me on style, structure, and much more when it came to putting my book together. To have Tom moderate and lead the discussion on Monday was a perfect. He knows my story well and effortlessly guided us through what was a wonderful evening.

I was humbled by the turnout and am grateful of the support Arsenal fans everywhere have shown already in this endeavor. To Howard Kennedy, AISA, Tom, and of course those that came out (and even bought the book!), thank you so much for a great night.
